inLearning to debone lamb shoulders changed how I price them
Went through 60 lbs of shoulders last month and weighed every single pull. Found my trim averaged 11.7% which was way higher than the 8% I had baked into my menu pricing. That extra 3.7% over a year basically pays for a shift of labor. What really got me though was rethinking the bones themselves. I started roasting them with some onion and celery scraps for stock and that knocked another chunk off what I was throwing away. Now I price the shoulder based on what I actually sell off it and treat the stock as free money.

inGPS said 8 miles but the road was 14, trust the map not the app
Closed county road, that app really tried to kill an hour of your life.

inNoticed an old brick arch in Knoxville that stopped me in my tracks
I read somewhere that those old jack arches were basically load-bearing art, the bricks lock together tighter the more weight you put on them. My cousin does historic restoration in Cincinnati and he says they still use the same wooden form technique for repair jobs, it's a dying skill for sure. Good on you for stopping to appreciate it, most folks walk right past that stuff without a second glance.
